Grand Dame of Shaw - Walk To Metro + Parking

I absolutely adore this place and it will be my first and preferably only home away from home when I visit DC (which is often)

Great location for the Convention Center. Easy walk. The apartment is a good size with good accommodations. I wouldn't stay there again, unfortunately, because of the upstairs neighbors. Our first night there, they had a party until 3am. It was soooo loud! Not the fault of the owner, but... I wouldn't do it again.

Updated, well stocked, clean; safe area with lots of dining options within easy walking distance. It was tight for our family of 5 but doable. We did not walk to the metro station as it was really hot and rideshares were inexpensive. Parking was good for the week with the printed street parking pass and we mostly left our minivan parked while there. Riding bikes on the mall at night to see the memorials was fun and cooler than trying to do this during the day. Good visit.

Really clean and well appointed place to lead your excursions in and around DC.

Checked with daughter and 2 gkids. Place was lovely in a great neighbor and had extra sleeping on pull out couch which was great for 12 yo gain who wanted to sleep alone. Great location. Beds very comfy

Excellent choice close to the conference center for easy walking daily. Clean and had all the needed amenities.

We had a comfortable stay, although the sofa bed mattress leaves something to be desired. The mattresses in the other rooms were great. We didn’t spend a lot of time outside of sleeping so our needs were met.

Overall enjoyed the stay. Would go back.

The location was great. It was clean. I would recommend that they tell people who have never been in the area about the parking. Host was okay we had a few situations that I wish they were more concerned. So disappointed in communication. Dryer was broke.

I would not choose to return to this VRBO. I would add perspective to this review but VRBO limits how much I can write. This property is a garden level 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment, located in a gentrified neighborhood proximal to the city center. It presented as described on the VRBO website. The kitchen was well equipped with dishware/glassware and with good appliances.The central heating was adequate. A ride share was never more than a few minutes away.The street had the feel of an affluent urban neighborhood with lots of people walking dogs or going about their lives.A few good restaurants (Unconventional Diner, Ghostburger, Mariscos) and a small food mart are easily reached on foot. Walking at night did not cause concern.This stay was marred by significant plumbing problems. We could not bathe for the first 48 hours due to a lack of hot water, and even after a plumber reportedly repaired a broken bathtub faucet, we found it difficult to use the shower because of tepid water temperature, and warm water turning cold quickly. A chief reason for choosing this property was for its bathtub; however, the tub could not be used for a lack of hot water. The property manager responded promptly when contacted the morning after our arrival; however, the person they sent to fix the problem, on the third day, could not achieve improvements to a satisfactory level. I cannot recommend this property until the plumbing is working properly.

Fabulous location and stay. Great for the conference walk each morning, great neighborhood with restaurants in easy walking distance and also the mall is a short wander down 10th street.

The facility is clean and well-maintained. The location is also convenient, making it easy to attend conferences at the Walter Washington Convention Center. With two rooms featuring double beds and a sofa, it comfortably accommodated three men. Additionally, the kitchen is fully equipped with various utensils, making cooking and dining hassle-free.

Clean and complete appartment.

We had a wonderful stay. There was plenty of room for our family of 4, the property was very clean and nicely kept, kitchen is well stocked. We had a problem with the party right above our apartment one of the nights and even though it was late Saturday night the manager was very quick to respond and was able to fix the problem (called a neighbor and straighten thing out). If I could give 6 stars for the service I would.

Was in town for a quick visit. Perfect spot. Well-located and clean and spacious. Wish I could've stayed longer!

I must say that my stay went great. It served out purpose and exceeded my expectations. Will certainly book next time I’m in DC! The property managers are also very attentive and quick to respond to messages. Thanks for the great stay.

The house is kept very nicely, the bedding was comfortable and well taken care of. It was very easy to find and access. Overall a very beautiful place to stay that is very convenient. I would love to stay here again!

We had a great stay at Laura’s! The place was adorable and pretty close to most of the hotspots in DC!

We had a great stay here. We were super comfortable. It was very accessible to metro and getting around DC by walking. The space was clean and comfortable, plenty of blankets and bedding.

Clean, quiet, great location, can’t ask for much more than that!

Great property. Light, bright, clean and better than anticipated. What small concerns we had were addressed immediately and resolved with ease. The weather wasn’t great so we spent more time on site than initially anticipated and it was comfortable and fun.

Very clean and tidy apartment as described on the website.

This property worked well for our small group. It wasn’t too far from the mall but still about a 30 minute walk. We discovered was shorter walk to the metro And that made it much easier to get around. There is also a small grocery store about 10 minutes away if you needed snacks. The rooms stayed fairly cool. You had everything we needed for our stay

This was a nice apartment in an upscale neighborhood close to the main tourist attractions in D.C. It was a little tight with our 4 teens (we have a blended family) but we made it work well. I was thrilled that the apartment included complimentary coffee, filters, sugar, creamer, two different types of tea, as well as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper products and plenty of laundry and dish detergent. The outdoor patio space was nice. When I had a question for our host, Lara, she quickly responded. Check in process was easy. It would have been nice to have had a mirror in the main bedroom, but that may only be an issue for us as we do have 3 teen daughters ? Overall, loved this place and would highly recommend!
